No, there's a couple ways to make money selling $50 software. One, have a product that's so wildly popular, that was so easy to write that you don't have any development costs to recoup. Two, sell a stable of similarly cheap and easy products, so you have a product line of 12 products instead of just one. How much do you make a year? How many $50 units would you need to sell to make that much money a year? Don't forget to cover the costs of advertising, rent, telephone, tech support, etc. And be sure to pay for the same health care, etc., you have now. A $50 product gets you $20 from a distributor. And what will you do next year?
